Some of the most famous books are least 30 worth reading. Their fame was due to their doing something that needed in their day to be done. The work done, the virtue of the book expires. John Morley.
Some of your griefs you have cured, / And the sharpest you still have survived; / But what torments of pain you endured / From evils that never arrived! Emerson, from the French.
Some old men, by continually praising the time of their youth, would almost persuade us that there were no fools in those days; but unluckily they are left themselves for examples. Pope.
Some people are all quality; you would think they were made up of nothing but title and genealogy. The stamp of dignity defaces in them the very character of humanity, and transports them to such a degree of haughtiness that they reckon it below themselves to exercise either good-nature or good manners. L'Estrange.
Some people are so fond of ill-luck that they run half way to meet it. D. Jerrold.
Some people carry their hearts in their heads; 35 very many carry their heads in their hearts. The difficulty is to keep them apart, yet both actively working together. Hare.
Some people obtain fame, and others deserve it. Lessing.
Some people pass through life soberly and religiously enough, without knowing why, or reasoning about it, but, from force of habit merely, go to heaven like fools. Sterne.
Some people will never learn anything, because they understand everything too soon. (?)
Some persons are so devotional they have not one bit of true religion in them. B. R. Haydon.
